SafeWeb ( https://www.safeweb.com/ ) is
a websurfing anonomizer. Their TriangleBoy software is free, open
source, runs under Linux and is designed to penetrate firewalls that would
otherwise block access to SafeWeb. However, I want to make the Linux
community aware that an article in the February 26 Sm@rt Partner magazine ( www.smartpartner.com ) reported that a
venture capital fund (named In-Q-Tel) funded by the US Central Intelligence
Agency had made an investment in SafeWeb. Since TrinagleBoy is open
source, its security might be verified, but in the absence of that, I
would be cautious.
At least, it's open source! With Microsoft,
we'd have no opportunity for verification!
